I can confirm the error when printing from evince (on a freshly installed ubuntu 7.10).
With a Foomatic-based printer driver, I get ghostscript errors in my CUPS error_log (if logging is set to debug)... ------------ D [25/Feb/2008:18:15:49 +0100] [Job 9] Error: /rangecheck in --xyshow-- D [25/Feb/2008:18:15:49 +0100] [Job 9] Operand stack: D [25/Feb/2008:18:15:49 +0100] [Job 9] (\034\023\035\024\036\037\007\033\036\022-\021\027\022) --nostringval-- D [25/Feb/2008:18:15:49 +0100] [Job 9] Execution stack: D [25/Feb/2008:18:15:49 +0100] [Job 9] %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --n ostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push 1889 1 3 %oparray_pop 1888 1 3 %oparray_pop 1872 1 3 %oparray_pop 1755 1 3 %oparray_pop --nostringval-- %errorexec_pop .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --no stringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- D [25/Feb/2008:18:15:49 +0100] [Job 9] Dictionary stack: D [25/Feb/2008:18:15:49 +0100] [Job 9] --dict:1161/1684(ro)(G)-- --dict:1/20(G)-- --dict:113/200(L)-- D [25/Feb/2008:18:15:49 +0100] [Job 9] Current allocation mode is local D [25/Feb/2008:18:15:49 +0100] [Job 9] Last OS error: 2 D [25/Feb/2008:18:15:49 +0100] [Job 9] GPL Ghostscript SVN PRE-RELEASE 8.61: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 ------------ ...or, with the CUPS+Gutenprint driver, the printer (a HP LaserJet 4M via JetDirect) prints a postscript error: ERROR: rangecheck OFFENDING COMMAND: xyshow Looks like somewhere in the print stack, the xyshow postscript command is generated improperly. My guess would be that evince (or a library used by evince) generates the corrupt postscript code before submitting it to CUPS. After a bit of googling, it seems to be the same/similar bug as described here: http://lists.cairographics.org/archives/cairo/2007-November/012147.html KPDF prints the same document just fine. My estimation is that this bug has a moderate impact on a large number of Ubuntu users, given that it effectively prohibits printing of some PDF documents via the default PDF viewer. Therefore, it should have at least "high" importance. At least to me, it does have ;-) -- Evince print fails with Postscript driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151145 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
